Indications
Adlock is used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, heart rhythm problems, hyperthyroidism, anxiety, and to prevent migraines.
Pharmacology
Adlock is a beta-blocker that is often used for high blood pressure and chest pain. Adlock works by blocking certain receptors in the body, which helps reduce the heart rate and the amount of oxygen the heart needs. This reduces the strain on the heart.
Adlock is absorbed well by the stomach but gets broken down by the liver before Adlock reaches the bloodstream. Adlock reaches its highest concentration in the blood about 1 to 1.5 hours after taking Adlock. Its effects last for 3 to 6 hours, and the body eliminates Adlock through the urine.
